Badge

For the site's owner: a badge that says readers fund it, linked to this page. It shows the live figure, so it never goes stale; a count appears once a platform publishes one.

Neighbourhood

Linked from 17 domains, links to 209; of the latter, the funded sites are shown. Funded sites first, then the sources that link to fewest other funded sites. Links as seen in the Common Crawl domain graph (cc-main-2026-aug-sep-oct), cut 2026-10-23: the pages crawled in a window of three months, not necessarily the site of today, and a page not crawled in that window leaves no link.
